I'm so pumped for this game. Let's keep the success rolling right along and take advantage of the just-swept Orioles.

We all remember Rodrigo Lopez, the "certified" Red Sox killer. That memorable 1-0 win over the Orioles where Clement pitched a gem could have easily gone either way, as we won off of an unearned run. Hopefully the tables will turn, and our newfound offense will kick in and get to Baltimore. Important series--4 games vs. Baltimore for first place!! We are 3 out currently, with the Yanks heading out to KC for a 3 game set. (They are off tonight)
So, let's pick up a game on the Orioles and in doing so, pick up another half game over the Yanks! Hopefully, Arroyo will bounce back from his last dreadful outing against Toronto. GO SOX! GO ARROYO!
And on another note: It's great to be home!
